WINNERS! Usenet Kook Awards, April 2008

The time has come to announce the winners of the April 2008 Usenet
Kook Awards. Envelopes, please!

*drumroll*

BOBO AWARD

The winners are...BRANDON AND AMBER HERBERT...

Brandon and Amber Herbert

17 votes YES
02 votes NO

Congratulations, Mr. and Mrs. Herbert. It was only a matter of time before
kookery from Craigslist earned an award here on AUK, and you two pulled it
off, even if you didn't succeed in covering up the original crime. BTW, be
prepared to say hi to "A Living Christ" while you are serving your time.
He might come visiting!

AND...RAUNI!

Jeanette "Rauni" Runyon

19 votes YES
01 votes NO

Congratulations, Rauni. Your propensity for kookery has long been
suspected, but it's astonishing that you confirmed it in such a big way.

Congratulations, Lady Veteran! In a battle of the former also-rans for
this award, you pulled off a big win against a fellow who displays his
kookery on AUK nearly every day, while you only rarely posted yours to AUK.

Congratulations a second time, LV! Your cluelessness about appropriate
behavior on USENET defeated someone who went on a crusade to get a poster's
Google Groups account nuked when the poster doesn't even post out of Google
Groups. It's difficult to top that, but you did!

Congratulations a final time, LV! Your propensity for real-lifing your
opponents has earned you a sweep of the top three monthly core awards,
which may be unprecidented and means that you have gone from a non-winner
to hitting the big time in one month. Also, it means that you will be on
the Kooks of the Year ballot next January four times. Do you have a
website? You could be on it a fifth time, too.

Congratulations, Dr. Tholen! For as award-winning a net-personality as you
are (by the time this ceremony is finished, you'll have 18 awards from AUK,
as well as several from AFA-B; furthermore, last month marked the 10th
anniversary of your winning Kook of the Month), it is surprising that you
have never won the entry-level PAP award. Since I am a firm believer that
all kooks should have at least one opportunity to win all the awards for
which they are eligible, I am pleased that you earned this honor. However,
you are now so overqualified for this award that I declare you ineligible
to run for it any more. Enjoy the company of Chuckles and St00pid!

Congratulations, Doogie! Your long history of melting down, extending back
to your wails of protestation over the results of the
rec.gambling.blackjack.moderated election a decade ago, has finally been
recognized.

VICTOR VON FRANKENSTEIN WEIRD SCIENCE AWARD

The winner is...

"Morgellons Is A Man-Made Silicon Based Life Form" by Alexa Cameron

23 votes YES
00 votes NO

Congratulations, Alexa! After a two-year hiatus, you have won your fifth
VVFWS Award with a weird science idea of striking originality. If only
your fertile imagination could synthesize ideas that would actually survive
controlled experiments and peer review, the world really would be a better
place!

DOUGLAS GRANT MEDAL FOR HISTORICAL REVISIONISM

The winner is...

"Revisionist claims about Galileo" by John Wentzky

21 votes YES
01 votes NO

Congratulations, John-boy! You started off making a weird science claim,
but it was really just a demonstration of cluelessness about history above
and beyond the usual ignorance by a net-kook. No matter. Kooky ideas
deserve proper recognition.

Congratulations, Malkavian! You earned this for multiple campaigns this
month, but the most memorable was that on behalf of your employers. It
might actually have been effective, had you not done it in front of people
who know you well enough that, had you told them the sun would rise
tomorrow, they would consult an almanac to make sure. In the meantime,
enjoy this video.

Congratulations! Your repetitiously robotic responses helped you eke out a
slim victory for you as "the lamest of the lame on USENET" over someone who
virtual stench is more like that of a rotting corpse than a busted urinal.
It has also earned you a new nickname--Doctor Robotnik. Enjoy your new
handle and watch out for fast-moving hedgehogs!

Congratulations, Minnie Mouse! You beat out a tough field full of
notorious screeders by a nose, demonstrating that persistence and
weirdness, as well as "anonymously" spamming multiple groups, pay off.
Don't leave, as the next one is yours, too.

72 RAISINS "CRACKPOT RELIGION" AWARD

The winner is...DANIEL JOSEPH MIN!

Daniel Joseph Min

21 votes YES
00 votes NO

Congratulations, again, Minnie Mouse! While your theological views about
atheists and the end times aren't particularly unique, they are both
notorious and extreme. They've also been embellished by your attempts to
combine your interpretation of Revelations with tarot, astrology, and the
predictions of Nostradamus, resulting in some truly ridiculous predictions
that have missed the mark by miles. Next stop, the Looney Maroon!

BOLO BULLIS FOAM DUCK

The winner is...DAVID THOLEN!

David Tholen

18 votes YES
02 votes NO

Congratulations a third and final time this month, Doctor Robotnik! As
much as it personally pains me to give this award to as august a scientist
as you, your online behavior really does fit the pattern of someone who has
"lost more marbles than a Chinese Checker factory."

BALSA GAVEL

The winner is...DOUGLAS GRANT!

Douglas Grant

22 votes YES
00 votes NO

Congratulations, Doogie! Your long history of hauling your online
adversaries into court has finally been recognized, making you the first
winner of this rarely presented award since Tim Bolen won it for September
2006, the first month I counted the ballot and announced the winners. Now,
don't bang the award on the table--it might shatter on you!

Congratulations, Unixd0rk! This is twice now that you've played games with
domain names to honor your trainers. Do you have any more stupid net
tricks for us (tinu)? Also, congratulations to Cujo, for gaining a new pet
to replace his deceased one and training them both so well that they served
as the first two AUK Mascots.

PIERRE SALINGER MEMORIAL HOOK, LINE & SINKER

The winner is...MEAT->PLOW!

"Luring the Net-Dead Lurkers" by Meat->Plow

18 votes YES
03 votes NO

Congratulations, Meat->Plow! This award recognizes not only this
particular instance of worthy trolling, but all of the trolling in which
you have engaged since the award you shared with Buzzard four years ago.

All Hail Meat->Plow, for he hace much grateness!!!1!!

KOOKI INFORMATION MINISTER

The winner is...

17 votes Pamela Russell
04 votes Donald Alford AKA Wizard of Odds

Congratulations again, Fangirlfriend! Your talent for spewing
misinformation on behalf of your clay-footed, one-gloved idol led you to an
easy defeat of a first-time opponent. Keep up the good work!

Congratulations, anti-semitic wankers! You have twice defeated very stong
opposition, first by dethroning the B8MBies and then fending off a
challenge by one of the longest-running circle jerks on USENET. I never
know a shared hatred could be such an aphrodesiac!

OFFICE OF ILLUCIDUS MAXIMUS

The winner is...

15 votes Jeff Relf
09 votes Colonel Jake

Congratulations, Relf the Illucid! May your tenure in office be as long as
you are incomprehensible.

This concludes the announcement of the winners of the April 2008
Usenet Kook Awards. Thirty-three people submitted thirty-three
ballots, all of which were ruled to be valid, although two of them required
acts of unusual mercy on the part of the FNVW, which were granted because
the violations were minor and the result of minor stupidity, not
intentional cheating. Consequently, for the fifth consecutive election,
all were counted. First, a kook sweeps the top three awards, then this.

See you all very shortly, as the call for nominations for the AUK Mascot
goes out in a few days. Also, I might get around to the AFA-B elections,
as I have been promising for two months. Any bets that I'll get it done
before Memorial Day? Until then, hail Fluffy and may Bob have mercy on
your souls!

And now, a special recessional in honor of this month's big individual
w(h)inner--Lady Veteran!

WOW!

That's like really NEAT-O, Lumpy.

Like. I know I'm just a kid and junk .... But can I nominate my brother
Wally (His real name is Wallace) for an award next month?

HEY!? I'll bet if I do, he'll think i'm really keen and stuff.

THANKS!

Your Pal,

The Beaver

Ah well, you were beaten by a heavyweight kook who took the top three
awards this month. Chin up, old-man! I'm sure you'll be post-editing
more typos and then lying about them in the future, as well as deleting
yourself from attributions. Oh by the way -- got the cajones to post

Yeah, you are lame, nelohT. The unabashed and unashamed champion of
the IKYABWAI, and the "still beating your wife?" loaded question. You
beat out Usenet's most notorious pseudoscience kook who has found his
way into the highest number of killlfiles on record -- think about it.

Well-deserved, and long overdue. nelohT believes that replying with
the question "what does that have to do with OS/2?" automatically makes
his off-topic digests on-topic. He's also managed to convince himself
that I believe I'm God. And for quite a while after he won the
prestigious GK, he was enamored with the line "so much for your golden
killfile, Deco."

I'm seriously disappointed with the froth level in your acceptance

I agree. Especially for a veteran, she is not holding up her end of the stick.
We have come to expect much more out of those who have served our country. Is
it me or are these self proclaimed veterans just trying to skate by without
really making that serious commitment?

A lot of others voted for you, dip****.

I expected a better acceptance speech given all the time you've had to
come up with one. Given you kicked ass on the awards this month, I want
you to do better and submit a revised speech no later than Monday night.

Get hopping.
